The.  constantly  increasing  demand  for  ornamental  ironj  the  as  con- 
fj  stantly  enlarging  field  for  its  architectural  use  and  for  purely  decorative 
effectSj  and  the  development  of  taste  and  artistic  discernment  in  the  selection

illustrating  the  product  of  our  works  in  part  during  the  past  yearj  furnishes 
the  evidence  of  our  entire  ability  to  fully  meet  the  demand  and  to  antici- 
pate the  wish  of  owner  and  architect  for  artistic  results  as  well  as  for  con- 
structional merit. 

Numerous  new  designs  are  showhj  many  of  which  represent  novel  crea- 
tions provided  for  special  constructive  and  ornamental  features;  these  speak 
for  themselves  In  the  illustrations. 

New  and  improved  methods  and  finishes  have  been  made  necessary;  and 
they  have  been  successfully  developed  and  introduced. 


A  study  of  the  list  of  important  buildings  in  which  we  have  placed  the

THE  following  are  selected  from  many  notices 
and  communications  complimentary  to  the 
publication  : 

PRESS  NOTICES. 

A  new  trade  paper  called  Ornamental  Iron  is  before  us.  It  is  per- 
haps a  house  organ,  but,  nevertheless,  by  reason  of  the  attractiveness  of 
its  contents,  is  entitleJ  to  more  than  passing  consideration.  The  num- 
ber bears  date  of  August,  and  is  published  monthly  by  the  Wiuslow 
Brothers  Company,  Rookery  building,  Chicago,  The  half-tone  process  of 
engraving  is  relied  upon  to  embellish  the  pages,  and  the  work  shown  is 
for  the  most  part  ornamental  structures  in  iron  and  steel.  Some  plates 
of  ornamental  ironwork  are  introduced,  which  come  from  the  works  of 
the  Winslow  Brothers  Company,  and  are,  in  a  sense,  supplemental  to  the 
paper.  The  new  fire-proof  construction  which  was  introduced  in  the 
Smith  &  Randolph  building,  Brooklyn,  a  short  time  since,  is  very  fully 
illustrated,  more  from  the  standpoint,  however,  of  the  general  reader 
than  from  the  point  of  view  of  the  architect  and  huilder.— Business. 


We  are  under  obligations  to  the  Winslow  Brothers  Company,  of  Chi- 
cago, for  their  catalogue  of  designs  of  ornamental  iron,  and  would  ac- 
knowledge same  with  thanks. 

In  beauty,  finish  and  design,  it  presents  the  appearance  of  an  art 
work,  and  in  instruction  is  equal  to  years  of  study  as  an  apprentice  in 
this  special  field  of  iron  architecture. 

The  Winslow  Brothers  Company  are  the  largest  manufacturers  of 
these  goods  in  the  world,  and  are  fitting  nearly  all  the  prominent  build- 
ings and  hotels  in  the  country  with  elevator  inclosures,  staircase  rail- 
ings, elevator  cars,  elaborate  chandeliers,  etc.,  also  bank  and  office  fit- 
tings in  brass  and  iron. — Intending  Biiilde)-. 


The  catalogues  issued  by  the  Winslow  Brothers  Company,  of  Chicago, 
for  the  current  year  merit  more  than  casual  attention.  Their  photogra- 
vure edition  is  a  sumptuous  book,  bound  in  cloth,  and  containing  141 
photogravure  plates  of  work  executed  by  them.  The  plates  are  finely 
printed,  and  the  volume  is  an  important  index  to  noteworthy  recent  work. 
Taken  as  a  whole,  the  work  of  this  company  attains  a  high  order  of  excel- 
lence, and  their  catalogues  amply  testify  to  the  good  work  they  are  doing 
for  ornamental  iron  in  this  country. — Engineering  Magazine. 


Ornamental  Iron  is  the  title  of  a  very  handsome  publication  which 
has  made  its  appearance  with  a  view  of  treating  extensively  the  subject 
of  ornamental  cast  and  wrought  iron.  It  is  quarto  in  size,  profusely 
illustrated,  printed  on  heavy  and  finely  graded  paper,  and  contains  a 
great  deal  of  matter  that  is  of  the  very  greatest  interest  to  foundrymen 
everywhere. —  Tlie  Foundry. 


Orn.amental  Iron  is  the  title  of  a  new  monthly  publication  devoted 
to  the  practical  and  the  artistic  phases  of  metallic  decorations  as  applied 
to  architecture.  The  first  number  contains  many  handsome  illustrations, 
including  some  lialf-tones  of  wrought  iron  Bower  liarffed  electroliers  of 
exquisite  design  that  should  interest  central  station  managers.  Mr.  W. 
H.  Kokman  is  the  editor  of  Ornamental  Iron,  with  oflSces  in  the  Rook- 
ery.— Eleclrii  ul  Engineer. 


Clay  workers,  engaged  in  the  better  class  of  work,  will  find  the  new 
catalogue  of  the  Winslow  Brothers  Company,  at  Chicago,  illustrative  of 
the  remarks  we  have  made  in  regard  to  proper  catalogue  work.  It  is  the 
sort  of  thing  that  is  effective  among  architects,  illustrating  as  it  does  the 
best  work  the  company  has  executed  under  architects'  direction.  The 
subjects  are  photographs  reproduced  in  gelatine,  and  of  the  141  plates,  23 
are  devoted  to  stairways  and  balconies,  17  to  railings,  29  to  elevator  in- 
closures, 2  to  twelve  designs  for  elevator  cars,  2  to  panels,  medallions, 
etc.,  and  63  to  counter  railings,  entrances,  canopies  and  other  miscellane- 
ous subjects.  The  same  opportunity  is  open  to  brick  or  terra  cotta  mak- 
ers, to  produce  a  catalogue  that  will  be  kept  as  a  work  of  art.  For  fine 
illustrative  work,  terra  cotta  or  good  brickwork  is  equal  to  wrought  iron. 
Of  course,  such  a  catalogue  is  expensive,  but  there  can  be  no  doubt  that  it 
is  an  investment  of  the  most  profitable  kind.— 77«<?  Brick  Builder. 


If  any  doubts  existed  as  to  the  great  progress  made  by  artistic  iron 
workers  in  this  country,  a  glance  at  the  contents  of  the  newly  issued 
catalogue  of  the  Winslow  Brothers  Company,  of  Chicago,  would  abun- 
dantly suffice  to  dispel  such  misgivings,  and  afford  conclusive  evidence  of 
the  high  position  this  branch  of  industrial  art  has  reached  in  the  United 
States.  The  catalogue  in  question  is  actually  a  handsome  album,  con- 
taining numerous  beautiful  photographic  reproductions  of  ornamental 
metal  work,  chiefly  in  wrought  iron,  which  have  been  executed  by  the 
firm  for  many  prominent  office  and  public  buildings  throughout  the 
country.  As  a  record  of  the  progress  made  by  them  in  the  application  of 
metal  to  architectural  and  decorative  purposes,  this  volume  is  a  suf- 
ficiently striking  one.  It  also  reflects  great  credit  on  the  architectural 
iron  working  industry  of  America  generally,  showing  clearly,  as  it  does, 
the  marked  strides  made  within  the  last  few  years  toward  the  attainment 
of  higher  artistic  ideals  in  this  craft.  *  "  The  specimens  given  in 
the  photogravure  edition  before  us  evidence  the  growing  appreciation  of 
this  class  of  work  by  architects  aud  others  in  the  decoration  of  our 
modern  buildings.  The  cities  of  Chicago  aud  Minneapolis  furnish  the 
majority  of  the  subjects  presented,  but  the  list  of  buildings  in  which 
Messrs.  Winslow's  work  has  been  placed  covers  a  wide  field,  including 
Germany  and  Mexico,  besides  all  parts  of  the  United  States. 
— Iron  Age. 

One  of  the  new  periodicals  printed  in  this  city  is  a  monthly  magazine 
entitled  Ornamental  Iron.  William  H.  Kckman,  formerly  of  Cleveland, 
is  the  editor.  Although  something  in  the  nature  of  a  trade  journal. 
Ornamental  Iron  contains  much  of  general  interest  in  these  days,  when 
the  decoration  of  buildings  for  business  purposes  and  homes  receives  so 
much  attention.  The  Winslow  Brothers  Company  publishes  the  magazine, 
which  is  extensively  illustrated  with  photogravures  aud  half-tones.  The 
work  will  make  a  valuable  addition  to  any  library  table.  Mr.  Eckman, 
the  editor,  is  well  known  as  a  newspaper  man  and  an  art  connoisseur  in 
Chicago  aud  elsewhere.  The  Winslow  Brothers  Company  has  also  issued 
an  illustrated  catalogue  of  ornamental  ironwork,  which  is  ornamental 
enough  in  itself  The  book  is  filled  with  photogravures,  picturing  the 
ironwork  done  by  this  firm,  not  only  in  the  big  buildings  of  Chicago,  but 
in  those  of  other  large  cities,  and  gives  a  number  of  interior  scenes, 
including  staircases,  bauk  vaults,  balcony  railings,  elevator  guards,  door 
entrances,  and  other  similar  work  that  are  really  works  of  art. — Cliicago 
Mail.  

We  are  indebted  to  the  Winslcw  Brothers  Company,  of  Chicago,  for  a 
handsome  collection  of  photographs  of  ornamental  iron.  This  new 
photogravure  edition  of  their  catalogue  for  the  year  1893  is  certainly  a 
very  creditable  specimen  of  the  printers'  art,  but  cannot  fail  of  being  of 
great  use  to  the  architect  and  contractor  who  are  about  to  order  work  of 
this  kind.  A  long  list  of  buildings  that  have  been  supplied  with  this 
class  of  work  by  this  firm,  being  in  many  cases  illustrated  by  engravings, 
gives  the  reader  an  opportunity  to  judge  of  the  effect  produced,  which  in 
some  instances  is  really  very  fine.  P.  H.  Jackson  &  Co.,  of  228  and  230 
First  Street,  this  city,  are  the  agents.  The  first  number  of  a  monthly 
journal  called  "Ornamental  Iron,"  devoted  to  industrial  art,  has  just 
been  received.  Certainly,  the  publishers  have  reason  to  congratulate 
themselves  upon  having  produced  a  gem.  The  illustrations  are  truly 
works  of  art  applied  to  every-day  use. — California  Architect  and  Building

CORRESPONDENCE. 

Gentlemen:— I  am  in  receipt  of  yourlbeautiful  catalogue,  for  which 
receive  ray  warmest  thanks.  I  have  always  admired  your  artistic  work, 
and  commend  your  exhibit  in  the  Manufactures  Building  at  the  World's 
Fair.  I  hope  I  shall  be  able  to  do  here  in  Milwaukee  what  the  profession 
and  artists  like  yourselves  (for  such  I  esteem  you)  are  doing  for  Chicago, 
namely,  educate  the  people  to  love  the  chaste  and  beautiful. 

Very  truly  yours, 

Milwaukee,  Wisconsin.    I.  JAY  KNAPP. 

It  is  a  work  that,  if  it  meets  with  anything  like  the  recognition  it 
deserves,  cannot  fail  to  do  excellent  missionary  work  in  its  field  I 
noticed  with  great  pleasure  the  exhibit  of  Messrs.  Winslow  Brothers,  at 
the  World's  Fair,  and  congratulate  them  on  the  excellent  display. 

WILLIAM  MARTIN  AIKEN,  Architect. 

Cincinnati,  Ohio. 

The  catalogue  which  you  so  kindly  sent  reached  me  to-day,  and  I 
hasten  to  acknowledge  it.  It  is  simply  a  revelation  to  me,  and  I  shall 
not  tire  of  turning  its  pregnant  pages.  The  fair  dreams  wrought  in  iion 
contained  in  it  are  more  than  I  had  even  imagined.

Dear  .Sirs:— Accept  my  thanks  for  the  copy  of  Ornamental  Iron 
kindly  furnished  to  this  school  by  you.  The  illustrations  are  very  fine, 
as  well  as  the  designs,  and  I  think  they  will  prove  of  great  interest  and 
use  to  our  pupils.    Very  truly  yours,       H.  H.  BELFIELD,  Director. 

Chicago  Manual  Training  School. 


It  is  a  most  artistic  publication,  and,  I  assure  you,  creates  a  decided 
interest  in  ornamental  iron  work  among  my  clients. 

CHARLP;S  F.  BIENDORF,  M.  I.  T.,  Architect. 

Omaha,  Neis. 

Dear  Sirs: — Your  last  number  of  Ornamental  Iron  has  emblazoned 
upon  the  cover  the  announcement  of  your  successful  competition  at  the 
World's  Columbian  Exposition,  eight  medals  having  been  awarded  !  Allow 
me  to  congratulate  you  upon  the  result,  and  to  state  that  having  care- 
fully inspected  all  of  the  various  exhibits  of  ornamental  ironwork  shown 
there,  I  fully  agree  with  the  judges  who  made  the  awards.  It  was  on  ray 
first  visit  to  Europe,  in  1856,  that  my  eyes  were  opened  to  the  possibilities 
afforded  by  wrought  iron  for  the  display  of  artistic  taste  and  skill  Un- 
derstanding some  of  the  practical  difficulties  which  the  artist  and  work- 
man (or  I  should  say  more  correctly,  artist-workman)  had  to  contend  with 
in  the  nature  of  the  material,  I  was  astonished  at  the  productions  of  the 
old  masters,  notably  Quintin  Matsys  in  Antwerp,  and  many  exaraples 
throughout  Italy  whose  names  I  cannot  recall.  At  Verona  in  particular 
I  saw  some  wonderful  work  about  the  tombs  of  the  ,Scala  family.  Within 
the  last  forty  years  the  use  of  wrought  iron  for  ornamentation  has  in- 
creased and  become  general  all  over  Europe,  but  it  is  within  twenty  years 
that  it  has  been  adopted  to  any  extent  on  this  side. 

The  factors  necessary  to  develop  this  class  of  work  are  wealth  and  art 
education.  Skilled  labor  is  costly,  and  an  artist  or  architect— and  in  this 
connection  the  terms  should  be  synonymous — should  not  be  restricted  by 
price  if  a  high  class  of  work  is  wanted. 

Here  frequently  is  where  trouble  occurs  in  this  line;  the  architect 
furnishes  elaborate  and  tasteful  designs,  but  impracticable  for  want  of 
knowledge  of  the  limits  of  the  material.  Or,  possibly,  through  competi- 
tion the  work  is  intrusted  to  workmen  who  have  no  conception  of  how  it 
should  be  executed,  and  while  a  semblance  is  produced,  the  work  Jacks  in 
feeling  and  is  not  artistic.  The  perfect  conditions  for  producing  good 
results  have.  I  think,  been  reached  in  your  concern  ;  you  are  both  archi- 
tects and  artists,  having  a  practical  knowledge  of  structural  require- 
ments, and  the  adaptability  of  materials  to  give  greatest  effect.  Not 
ignoring  the  fact  that  you  have  had  furnished  you  original  and  elegant 
designs  from  the  most  talented  architects  supported  by  wealthy  and  intel- 
ligent patrons,  still,  in  my  opinion,  your  firm  has  done  more  than  any 
other  to  advance  the  general  excellence  of  this  class  of  work.  I  beg  to  in- 
close a  cut  of  a  gate  of  hammered  wrought  ironwork  which  formed  one 
portion  of  my  exhibit  at  the  Centennial  E.^hibition,'-' and  from  this  you 
can  see  that  I  was  at  that  time  well  advanced  in  this  class  of  work  ;  but  I 
regret  to  say  that  the  demand  in  this  country  for  such  work  has  not  been 
sufficient  to  enable  me  to  keep  pace  with  what  has  been  done  on  your 
side.  My  only  exhibit  at  Chicago  was  a  sample  of  hot-water  heater, 
known  as  the  "  Buffalo  Hot- Water  Boiler,"  and  for  which  I  obtained  an 
award.  Yours  truly,  H.  R.  IVES.

your  publication,  Ornamental  Iron.  It  appears  that  you  intend  the 
journal  for  the  refeience  room  of  tiie  Library,  where  it  would  be  very  use- 
ful, but  in  order  to  complete  the  present  volume  and  to  enable  us  to  bind 
the  same  for  future  reference,  we  would  ask  yon  to  kindly  send  us  the 
first  three  numbers. 

If  the  publication  is  received  regularly  it  will  be  placed  011  our  list  of 
periodicals.   Thanking  you  for  your  gift,  I  am. 

Very  respectfully  yours,       FRED  H.  HILD,  Librarian. 

The  Chicago  Public  Library,  Chicago. 


*  I  cannot  forbear  congratulating  you  upon  your  thoroughly 
sound  and  harmonious  adaptation  of  the  various  great  architectiiral 
styles  to  your  purposes,  your  designs  being  frequently  in  much  better 
taste  than  the  buildings  for  which  they  have  been  destined. 

May  I  add  that  I  cannot  help  being  interested  in  the  coincidence  of 
name,  which  seems  to  imply  a  common  origin  at  no  very  distant  period, 
and  from  a  stock  of  which  at  least  we  have  no  reason  to  be  ashamed. 

Yours  very  truly,         W.  HENRY  WINSLOW. 
Jamaica  Plains,  Boston. 

I  desire  to  acknowledge,  with  thanks,  the  receipt  of  your  publication. 
Ornamental  Iron  It  is  not  only  beautifully  gotten  up, both  in  illustra- 
tions, print  and  paper,  but  what  is  of  yet  more  importance,  the  subject 
matter  and  designs  are  most  excellent,  and  show  a  degree  of  proficiency  in 
the  work  which  cannot  be  surpassed  anywhere. 

Baltimore,  Md.    GEO.  A.  FREDERICK. 

Gentlemen  ;— I  have  to  thank  you  very  much  for  the  copies  of  your 
catalogues  received  this  morning.  They  are  splendid  specimens,  not  only 
of  typography,  but  of  the  artistic  development  of  ironwork.  This  latter 
is  the  more  important  aspect,  and  every  lover  of  the  fine  arts  can  certainly 
heartilj'  congratulate  you  on  the  high  standard  you  have  attained,  and  the 
very  great  artistic  excellence  of  the  designs.      Yours  very  truly, 

BARR  FERREE, 
Editor  .\rchitectural  Dep't,  Engineering  Magazine. 

New  York. 


I  can  hardly  express  my  admiration  of  the  work  or  my  thanks  for  the 
copy.  I  find  a  great  temptation  to  take  it  home  for  my  center  table.  I 
have  already  invested  in  some  materials  for  such  work  for  the^boys,  this 
F'all,  and  believe  that  a  look  through  this  book  will  be  an  inspiration  to 
better  effort  among  them.  Very  truly,  O.  P.  HOOD,  Sup't. 

Kansas  State  Agricultural  College.  Manhattan,  Kan.

I  am  pleased  to  notice  a  few  instances  in  this  country  of  a  tendency

several  bridges  have  been  erectedjn  parks  which  show  this.  I  hope  the 
tendency  will  develop  and  that  you  may  be  able  to  aid  in  the  movement.

OF  THE

* 


The  demand  for  a  better  class  of  work  than  is  offered  to  purchasers  by  the  competing  elevator  manufacturers  has  called  the 
Winslow  Bros.  Elevator  Company  into  existence. 

Our  aim  shall  be  to  build  the  highest  type  of  elevators  for  passenger  duty. 

Our  policy  shall  be  to  adopt  the  most  highly  approved  mechanism,  and  to  so  perfect  our  general  construction,  that  we 
shall  excel  in  the  three  essential  qualities  of  safety,  efficiency  and  durability. 

In  Chicago  we  are  the  successors  to  Messrs.  Wm.  E.  &  Geo.  W.  Hale,  the  well-known  pioneers  in  passenger  elevator  build- 
ing, in  believing  that  the  best  on\y  should  be  made  part  of  passenger  elevator  construction. 

Co-operating  with  us  for  the  successful  accomplishment  of  the  high  aims  just  outlined,  is  Mr.  W.  E.  Carr,  who  has  assumed 
the  management  of  our  company.  Mr.  Carr  is  favorably  known  through  his  prominent  connection  for  several  years  with  the 
management  of  the  Hale  Elevator  Company.  He  is  in  entire  sympathy  with  our  general  policy,  and  is  in  every  way  competent 
to  guarantee  the  desired  results. 

We  have  also  engaged  the  seivices  of  Mr.  H.  R.  Smith,  an  elevator  engineer  of  established  reputation,  under  whose  charge 
were  executed  some  of  the  most  important  plants  built  by  the  Hale  Elevator  Company  before  its  withdrawal  from  the  field. 

As  Consulting  Engineer  we  are  fortunate  in  securing  Mr.  Kennerley  Bryan,  who  leaves  his  important  position  as  an  engi- 
neer of  Otis  Brothers  &  Co.,  of  New  York,  to  assist  in  our  enterprise.  Mr.  Bryan  has  had  the  advantage  of  years  of  experience 
with  the  Otis  Company,  known  throughout  America  and  Europe  as  manufacturers  of  elevator  machinery  of  the  most  approved 
type.    He  now  has  the  reputation  of  being  one  of  the  most  skillful  and  experienced  engineers  in  the  art  of  elevator  building. 

Our  erecting  foremen  and  skilled  mechanics  are  selected  from  the  most  experienced  and  reliable,  and  with  their  years  of 
experience  are  considered  to  be  the  most  competent  in  every  respect. 

Although  presenting  our  claims  for  recognition  under  a  name  new  to  purchasers  of  elevators,  our  entire  force  is  composed 
of  experts  selected  from  among  the  best  of  those  whose  skill  gave  to  the  Hale  Elevator  Compan}  of  the  West,  and  to  Otis 
Brothers  &  Co.,  of  the  East,  a  world-wide  reputation.  Our  mechanics  have  been  trained  during  a  period  of  years  in  the  belief 
that  the  desired  end  in  elevator  building  is  to  produce  the  perfect  and  not  the  cheapest  construction. 

We  are  not  organized  for  the  purpose  of  competing  with  those  manufacturers  whose  aim  is  apparently  to  produce  the 
cheapest,  but  we  shall  build  what  has  been  found  to  be  beyond  doubt,  tlie  safest  and  most  efficient,  and  that  in  the  best  manner 
possible. 

We  shall  also  make  a  special  effort  to  combine  the  most  perfect  mechanical  construction  with  an  artistic  finish,  which  will 
result  in  making  the  complete  elevator  plant  a  much  n.ore  ornamental  feature  of  the  building  than  has  been  possible  in  the  past 
on  account  of  there  having  been  no  harmony  between  the  elevator  manufacturer  and  the  worker  iu  ornamental  iron. 

While  we  aim  to  build  better  elevator  jjlants  than  other  manufacturers  offer,  we  shall  guard  against  unnecessarj-  expense. 
Our  construction  is  necessarily  higher  iu  first  cost,  but  the  additional  outlay  of  purchase  money  required  over  the  prices  of  other 
companies  is  more  than  justified  by  the  much  greater  degree  of  safety,  efficiency  and  durability  that  we  effect.  The  money 
saved  by  the  use  of  our  construction  in  place  of  the  poorly  built,  expensively  operated  elevators,  sold  at  prices  below  the  cost  of 
first-class  mechanism,  amounts  in  the  lifetime  of  the  plant  to  more  than  the  entire  first  cost.  The  annual  saving  iu  the  cost  of 
coal  and  repairs  is  a  heavy  percentage  of  the  initial  sum  spent  upon  the  entire  equipment. 

The  only  positive  proof  of  the  truth  of  our  claims  is  the  test  of  time.  That,  we  cannot  now  give,  but  we  shall  be  pleased  to 
offer  for  the  consideration  of  inquiring  parties,  proofs  which  we  believe  will  convince  any  unprejudiced  person  who  wishes  to 
make  an  intelligent  decision  upon  this  subject  so  vital  to  the  success  of  the  modern  building. 

Preliminary  plans  and  estimates,  with  general  information,  wWI  be  furnished  by  us  to  architects  and  owners  with  pleasure 
upon  receipt  of  application. 

Please  address  all  inquiries  and  communications  to 


W^inslow  Bros.  Elevator  Company, 

757  "The  Rookery," 
Chicago...
